The Amelia McGuiness Australian Snowsports Development Foundation (AMASDF) was established in memory of Amelia McGuiness who tragically died in a skiing accident in 2009.

All monies raised are distributed to our emerging athletes via the Amelia McGuiness Scholarship, which opens in early October each year. This scholarship is dedicated to providing practical support (for equipment, training, and resources), to up-and-coming winter snowsports athletes from the age of 10 to 18 years old, across all disciplines including disabled snowsports. The foundation has distributed $181 960 in funds to emerging athletes since 2010.

These events are the perfect opportunity to practice for your Alpine, Snowboard GS, Moguls, and XC events before the NSW State Interschools Championships.
